After rounding the world four times and getting the piercings, but only having three earrings to show for it because he's too picky about what he'll actually put back in his ear, Mark attempted to settle down back in his hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee. This, of course, did not happen because, quite apparently, he has been biologically implanted with a PsychoMagnetâ„¢ which makes even the most stable of people batshit crazy. Mark is currently "hiding" in wildly public places, and making as much noise as possible, while throngs of anonymous nutjobs accuse him of every salacious deed imaginable, such as the unseasonable rainfall of 2011, the murders of several prominent people who are still very much alive, and the 1915 sinking of the Lusitania. Mark is a carnivorous smoker who is Politically agnostic, unable to reproduce, refuses all manners of Internet dating, and generally believes that Murphy was an optimist.

I was nearly fluent in Spanish years ago. Now the only thing I can remember with any certainty is, “Tengo un bolígrafo rojo.” But I don’t really have a red pen… Or a red stapler, for that matter…

I was looking for a car once, and told the woman I was calling about the ad. She gave me her address, and when I showed up, she said, “Just remember, no biting or hitting, and you have to use a condom.” Apparently, she was selling more than just a Lumina on Craigslist…

"Hi, this is Randy. I saw your penis for sale on Craigslist. Is it still available? If so I would like to come take it for a test drive tonight sometime."  "Hi Randy, im selling a prius. Is that what you meant?"  "YES!!! Apologies new phone"  "Well it's craigslist. You never know."

Since July 4th, there have been numerous reports and articles regarding addiction, especially alcohol abuse. The fact is, most anything can be done to excess: eating, watching television, using the computer and even getting angry. But with a lot of love and plenty of positive reinforcement, many people turn out just fine.

It was hard getting over my addiction to the Hokey Pokey, but I've turned myself around.
